All the products were fresh, and the dishes had the warmth of home-made food. The chefs at Efes take great care in selecting the best quality ingredients. The restaurant also caters for all tastes by providing a large selection of the best regional wines, which can be cost- ly but worth sampling.

Efes is a pretty wonderful place to enjoy extraordinarily good food and an exemplary service. As you come in, the setting stands out. The mix of antique stones and the modern set- ting with green lights in a spacious dining room make it a cosy restau- rant. There is a wonderful view from any table or from the kitchen bar, where you can see the chefs and bar- man preparing the food and drinks. For those who haven’t booked a ta- ble and are waiting, there is a cozy
